Johann Daniel Busch (born September 6, 1735 in Itzehoe ; † September 12, 1787 in Drochtersen / Assel) was a German organ builder .

Life

Organ of the Augustenburg Castle Church

Johann Daniel Busch was the son of the organ builder Johann Dietrich Busch . His godfather was the organ builder and Schnitger student Lambert Daniel Kastens , whose Itzehoe workshop his father took over from 1728. After the death of his father in 1753, Johann Daniel continued the workshop. The home of the Busch family was at Feldschmiede 27, later at Breite Straße 35 and then 37.

Busch built numerous high-quality instruments, mainly in the area of the duchies of Holstein and Schleswig as well as in the state of Kehdingen . Immediately after his father's death, his mother applied for his father's privilege. The two competitors, Johann Matthias Schreiber from Glückstadt and Johann Hinrich Mittelheuser from Wilster, were rejected. On May 4th, 1753, just 17½ years old, Busch received the certificate and thus became “Royal Danish and Grand Prince”. Schleswig-Holstein's privileged organ maker over the principalities and counties ”. In 1754/55 the organ builder traveled to Dresden . Here he attended the inauguration of the Silbermann organ in the Dresden court church on February 2, 1755 . Busch adopted Silbermann's design and disposition principles for his new organs in Augustenburg Castle , Trondheim (Vår Frue Kirke) and Sankt Margarethen .
